Nice stand for the moneyThe good - The price is right for something that gets used about 2 months out of the year. It is fairly sturdy, but there is a little lateral wiggle that I don't care for when 17' in the air. It is much more comfortable than my previous stand. There is enough room on the platform for a stable bow-shot, but that is when the wiggle is most noticeable.
The bad - The stand was a pain to assemble and what would have been some helpful tips were not in the directions. Since it needs some assembly in the field, more wing nuts (rather than nylon locking nuts) would have been nice so I wouldn't need to pack in tools. Bring spare pieces (nuts & bolts) when setting up in the field! You *will* drop something onto the ground and all the parts are coated black.
The ugly - It is a 2+ person job to attach to a tree. I did it myself, but it was an "adventure". I didn't even open the bag for the safety harness. I bought a top-of-the-line harness previously and I wouldn't trust my well being on just any old "add-in" item. Your mileage may vary...

Great stand, chessey harnessFedEx dropped it off yesterday with a crushed and half open box. Put it togeather in about two hours and it's on a pine tree in the yard. Will set it up tomorrow in the woods. So far it's spot on as far as quality for the money. Muddy did their homework-the seat is remarkably comfortable. The safety harness however, is cheap and with heavy winter clothing will not fit me comfortablly if at all-headed out right now to buy a better one.

Best Ladder Stand on the MarketI bought one of these stands 2 weeks before the 2016 deer gun season from the Niagara Falls, Ont., Bass Pro Shop. I took it home to Waterloo and started putting it together in my garage the following day. Unfortunately, during the assembly I noticed that the seat was damaged from another sharp metal part rubbing against it. I called Bass Pro and expained my disappointment. The stand is useless without a a sturdy seat bottom!
The Tree Stand Dept. Mgr. responded immediately sending me a replacement from another carton. This stand is not only the most solid I have ever put up but also it is the quietest also with all the supplied nylon washers used in the assembly.
I shot 2 nice Whitetails from this stand last year and bought another one to setup in another good bush location.
Thank you Bass Pro for the excellent customer service.

Huntsman tree stand partsI got this tree stand for my Birthday and I was excited to put it together and when I laid all the parts out in my driveway i realized they gave me the wrong bolts for the tree stand so I called Muddy customer service and left a voicemail. I got no phone call back so after a week I Then tried to send them a email instead and they finally got back to me 3 days later. I had to send them the batch and model number to them so they can give me the right parts. I'm still waiting on those parts to come in the mail and who knows if there ever going to send them. I'm very fustrated with all of this, especially buying my first Muddy product. And as of right now not very happy on how they handled it.

Great standLove this stand. The seat back makes it very comfortable to sit in for hours and also makes it silent when you move. The seat lifts up easily if you would rather stand, with a good size platform.

The Muddy HuntsmanThe stand was a little difficult to put together , just ask my brother LOL Make sure you get all the bolts lined out before you start and you will be fine on the install . After putting the stand on a good tree and locked in place it was very sturdy , easy to hang for 2 big men but I would take 3 . This is a stand you could sit in all day with no problem and worth every penny !

WORTH THE $$If you compare apples to apples this must be a best buy! I am getting older and prefer to hunt exclusively from ladder stands now adays. This is the best value I've found for ladder stands.It is less expensive than many other stands with seats and I like the way it is made better as I prefer that it is attached to the tree at the seat rather than the foot platform as many ladder stands are,it is more stable and solid. It is very comfortable and for the size of the stand is also light and I can easily install one by myself.it's also quiet and roomy... Very worth the $$$ IMO.

Good sturdy stand for the moneyI recently started using ladder stands so that my wife can safely hunt from my spots as well. I really like this design and the comfort of the seat. I made a few modifications. I painted the stand camo and attached the shooting rest upside down because we bow hunt. This gives the security of a bar without the clearance issues. Building this stand is easy, just follow the steps so that you can slip the seat over the rails then tighten the bolts. We put this stand up last weekend, looking forward to hunting it.
My only wish is that this stand had a slightly bigger platform. Hence the 4 star review.
